TexTango Compensates You For Sending SMS Text Messages

TexTango, a mobile advertising network that compensates its members for sending SMS text messages, has announced the official release of their “Beta” texting application available for free download on BlackBerry and Android devices.

Each time a member sends a text, an un-intrusive, yet catchy banner message from the sponsoring brand is automatically attached. For every text sent to friends and family, the sponsor compensates them for reaching their target audience. It’s a true win-win situation.

“Based on what we have learned from our successful alpha release, we are finally able to compensate our members for doing what they do every day- texting their friends.” said Kris Golshan, VP of Business Development for TexTango.

Here’s how it works:

1. Visit www.TexTango.com and click the “DOWNLOAD” button. Fill in your information. Please note that your personal information will be securely stored and will not be shared with anyone!

2. Download the TexTango application onto your Android or BlackBerry® phone (your BlackBerry® needs to be running OS version 4.6 or above) by clicking the “Download” link on the left menu bar associated with your phone.
